DELETE doesn't have to remove the entire resource, it's up to the receiving service on how to implement it.

Sending it with different HTTP verbs might do the trick. For your example:

      {
         "baz": "boo"
      }
DELETE would remove baz, PATCH would change baz, and PUT would, in effect, remove foo.
Because the whole premise is completely idiotic, it's just designed to scam people into spending money on nothing.

That's interesting to know, I was browsing RationalWiki the other day, for the first time in many years, and was surprised by how irrational it is. This would appear to explain it.

Bezos and Musk take far too much credit. Most of the work, including the intellectual work, the vast majority in fact, was done by other people.

Those are the people who should be celebrated, not the guy who happens to own the organisation, and nudges it now and again like some tinkering monarch.

Agreed. I had a friend lament to me recently that he hadn't got into NFTs early. To me, that just sounds like someone wishing they were born retarded.
